Judges5:20

20 They fought from heaven , the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

Or, they from heaven, or the heavenly Host fought, by Thunder, and Lightning, and Hail-stones, possibly mingled with Fire. Compare Ios. 10, 11. and 1 Sam. 7. 10.

Which raised these Storms by their Influences, which they do naturally and ordinarily, but now far more, when God sharpned their Influences, and disposed the Air to receive and improve their Impressions.

Or, from their paths, or stations, or highplaces. As Souldiers fight in their ranks and places assigned them, so did these, and that with advantage, as those Enemies do which fight from the higher ground.

Marginal references: Heb. paths.
